Multiethnic Genome-Wide Association Study of Cerebral White Matter Hyperintensities on MRI
9 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The burden of cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) is associated with an increased risk of stroke, dementia, and death. WMH are highly heritable, but their genetic underpinnings are incompletely characterized.
